Thames Poet



Brought up by the banks of the Thames,
a poet would always say 'James' like 'gems'.

Her straight-haired son she called that -
and Jules and Julius -
and all the precious stones.

'Garnet, yes; and Opal's okay, '
James would say;
but his hair would curl
when she called him Ruby or Pearl.
